Extreme heat can affect how machines function, and the fact that many machines give off their own heat doesn’t help. This is because heat causes materials to expand, fluids to thin, and electronics to overheat, reducing the efficiency and lifespan of machines. Some ways to cope with the heat are using phase-changing fluids, heat pipes, and thermoelectric devices, but these solutions have limitations and trade-offs. #HeatWaves #MachinePerformance #EngineeringSolutions
